My
Thoughts:
A year ago, tragedy separated Gemma Parker and Graham
Wharton, leaving them heartbroken and bitter, but with both being part of the
Imposters, an investigative group used by aristocrats, they can’t permanently
part ways.
Gemma and Graham must go uncover together when a
ten-year-old boy is kidnapped, and a ransom is demanded. The clues lead them to
a house party out in the country. They each must use their skills to uncover
the motive and find the boy before it’s too late.
This is Christian fiction, so the element of faith is
prevalent in the story, but it wasn’t in a preachy way. I didn’t mind the way
it was presented.
I was thoroughly engrossed by both the mystery and the
personal heartbreak of Gemma and Graham. Graham is angry with God and Gemma is
angry with Graham. Yet, as they work together forgiveness, healing, and love filter
in bit by bit. Their tragedy broke my heart and I totally understood why they
were so shattered, but I cheered as they drew close again! Gemma and Graham’s personal
journey is mixed in with the urgency of the situation, a little boy in danger.
I was eager to see how it’d all play out!
This is book two in the series, but it wasn’t necessary to
read the first one, as it was a separate mystery with a different romantic
couple as the focus.

Book Description:
Gemma Parks is known throughout high society as G. M. Parker, a columnist renowned for her commentary on the cream of society. Behind the scenes, she uses her talent to aid the Imposters in their investigations by gathering intel at events and providing alibis for the elite firm's members through her columns. Yet her clandestine work would be more exhilarating if it weren't for the constant presence of the gentleman who broke her heart.
Graham Wharton has never had eyes for anyone but Gemma, and she left his soul in tatters when she walked away from him. When the Imposters take on a new job to recover a kidnapped boy mistaken for his aristocratic cousin, Graham is determined to use the time with Gemma not only to restore the missing boy, but also to win back the only woman he's ever loved. As they trace the clues laid out before them, Graham must devise a noble scheme to save the boy's life and heal their hearts.
Christy Award-winning author Roseanna M. White whisks you away to Edwardian-era England in an exhilarating tale of glamor, intrigue, and romance set among high society's most elite--and most dangerous--families.
That investigative group the Imposters sound interesting. They're probably in the first book, too. Glad you enjoyed this one. :D
